I continue to like this series and especially the realistic turn I anticipate in Vicky and Fr. John's relationship. I will read the next one.

Story centers around the casino on the reservation. Vicki goes to work for the casino as one of the lawyers because her private practice is suffering. She starts investigating the goings on as some elders have asked her to look into things. One of the managers has employed lots of people who are his relatives or friends and are not qualified.
Meanwhile a body has been found and the search is on to find the killer. Father John is involved with helping the family and trying to figure out why the man was killed. He is also dealing with a lack of finances at the mission and the problems his parishoners are having with gambling problems.
Everything is connected and Vicki's life is in danger along with some other people. Corruption is rampant within the casino and the story examines the effects of having a casino on the reservation, both the pros and cons.

I have enjoyed reading books in this series and I enjoyed this one. The priest/lawyer/Arapaho mix is interesting. Not highly creative or great art, but a good recreational read.
